disappointed
I went for a interview just now. it was an interview to be a student ambassador for the Ministerial Forum 2007 to be held in NTU in oct.
i was disappointed by two things.
first, i was told that the roles of the student ambassador is to help the main comm in the execution of the event and this entails helping out in logistic, reception, security and ushering. so i concluded that any tom, dick n harry can be a student ambassador and apparently to the student union, this is the meaning of student ambassador. if we were in the army, this would be known as the sai-kang party rather than being known as the army ambassador. so i m annoyed at this crap. can't an young adult differentiate between sai-kang/student helper and student ambassador. i must say ntu student union has done a very gd job in giving such a nice name to such a shitty job.
next, my interview was scheduled at 9pm and it lasted for a total of about 5min. the interview went like this.
'so i shall now brief u on the roles of the student ambassadors. they are to assist the comm by helping out in logistic, reception, security and ushering'
'do u have any experience with handling events? '
'thank you for coming down for this interview and we will notify u shortly'
these were the gist of the interview and this is one of the most lousy interview i have ever went thru. in fact, none of the student-conducted interviews in ntu impressed me. while i do not expect such interview to be of those standards that i went through for my various scholarships, i do expect a bit of substance in each interview. or can someone tell me that such expectation is too much?
the student ambassador interview was a total waste of my time and i have more or less lost faith in any interview of whatever nature that's conducted by students.
